To all whom it ma concern:

Be it known that we, OsoAn GUNTIIER and Lnoronn Hnssn, residing at Elbertcld,

and ARTHUR ZART and HIUG'O Soi-iwnrrznn, residing, respectively, at Vohwmkel, near *llberfeld, and Elberfeld, Germany, doctors I of philosophy, chemists, citizens of the Gerlowing" is a specification.

man Empire,'have invented new and useful Improvements in Dyes,

This invention relates to the preparation of new azo dyestuffs which are obtained by combining in acid solution the diazo comr pounds of aminosulfonlc acids, such as sulfa'nilic acids, 2.5-dichloro e-sulfanilic acid,

'2-naphthylamin3.G-disulfonic acid, sulfonic acids of: toluidins, erylidins and aininophenol ethers with Q-arylamino-S-naphthol-G-sulionic acids.

The new dyestuffs are afterbeing dried and pulverized in the shape of their sodium salts dark powders yielding upon reduction with stannous chlorid and hyrochloric acid a sulfonic acid of an aromatic amin and an -1 ami110-2-arylamiho-S-na'phthol- 6 sulfonic acid. They produce on wool from an acid bath red to violet shades of good fastness to light and to milling. Part of the dyes can be increased in fastness by chroming.

In order to illustrate the new process more fully the following example is given, the parts being byweight:-173 parts of metasullanilic acid are diazotized'by means of sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid and the diazocompound is then added at 3 C-.,

toan aqueous solution cooled to 5 C. and" which has to be stirred of 343 parts of 2- nieta-irylylamino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid, which solution shows only a slightly acid reaction on cong'o paper. V

The dyestuff is isolated by salting out. It

is after being dried and pulverized in the shape of its sodium salt a brown powder soluble in Water with a red color and soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid with a red color;

yielding upon reduction with stannous Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June29, 1910. Serial No. 569,490.

Similar shades are obtained on using instead of Z-meta Xylylamino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid, other'ot' the above men tioned derivatives of 2-amino-8-naphthol-6- sulfonicacid, e. g. paratolyl-, xylyl-, paraanisidyl-, phenyl meta carboxyphenyl 2- -amino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid.
